Right now I am totally addicted to (but will likely change within the week):

sewing on my cards
polka dots
BasicGrey papers (although I tend to hoard but I am trying to fix that!)
Papertrey Ink
Hero Arts
Clean and Simple
Good old ink and paper cards
nature inspired images (trees, flowers, bugs, fruit, etc.)
string, linen, hemp, etc.
buttons
woodgrain

my dislikes are much fewer ... so few I can't even think of anything at this very moment. I guess I could say that I don't make cards with 'people' on them, especially those vintage pictures ... just seems strange to me to give my sister a card with some strange kid on it. I think the cards themselves look great, it just feels weird to me to have strangers on my cards! LOL!!

The strange kids cards made me really LOL!! I am the same way. Or some woman's head staring at you. Just had to tell you that you gave me a good laugh and I needed it!
